The Adam's Armor Foundation and Halco Home Solutions provided a free furnace installation for Penny Haremza, the widow of longtime Halco technician Jim Haremza, after discovering her furnace was unsafe. Halco swiftly replaced the unit, ensuring her home was warm again. Penny expressed deep gratitude, calling it a miracle, especially as the installation coincided with Jim's birthday. This act of kindness honors the legacy of both Jim and Adam Scott, two respected craftsmen, whose impact continues through the Adam Scott Memorial Scholarship and the foundation's ongoing support for the trades.

Halco is thrilled to announce that it has been honored with the 2024 NY-GEO Top Job Award for its ambitious and visionary geothermal retrofit project at the residence of Halco's CEO, Hal Smith.

Halco is excited to welcome six graduates from the Wayne-Finger Lakes Technical Training and Career Center to our team starting July 8, 2024. These talented individuals gained hands-on experience through internships and technical training in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trades.

The Adam's Armor Foundation is pleased to announce a significant step forward in its mission to provide support and comfort to families in need. The foundation has proudly selected a deserving family to receive a new HVAC system installation, furthering its commitment to honoring the legacy of Adam Scott by spreading warmth and compassion within the community.

The Adam B. Scott Memorial Scholarship was established to honor Adam's legacy by supporting young men and women pursuing a career in the trades.

On the 23rd, Sunderlin will open his house to the press, elected officials and the community for the award ceremony.
